In its desert setting that touts exceptional outdoor recreation options and therapeutic hot mineral baths, Truth or Consequences also offers rewarding experience in the arts history and of course dining. Adventuresome travelers along the Rio Grande corridor between Albuquerque and El Paso who exit Interstate 25 for exploratory excursions have long ago discovered Los Arcos restaurant. The steak and seafood establishment should, in fact, be included in your list of destination restaurants.

The steaks are aged and trimmed by the restaurant and the staff bakes fresh bread daily. Australian lobster tails and Alaskan king crab are offered and served in combinations with the steak. Specialties include mesquite-smoked Baby Back Ribs with orange pecan barbecue sauce and the charbroiled Filet Monte Vista topped with green chile and Mornay sauce. Seafood and fresh water options include herb-butter catfish, Indonesian shrimp and Walleye Pike, deep-fried in beer batter and charbroiled Almondine or Cajun style.

The bar offers an extensive list of beer, wine, liqueur, cognac and coffee specialties. The bar and patio are popular as a gathering place for friends, and handles overflow from the restaurant.

As with any establishment that has stood the test of time, consisitency, quality and service are essential ingredients to its success. In the case of Los Arcos, the warm, relaxed atmospherre and personal attention from the management team are also key elements. Incidentally, all employees are listed on the menu as managers.

Bobby, owner of Los Arcos is a Truth or Consequences native, or more correctly, a native of Hot Springs. Bobby is also a major owner of the Monte Vista Fire Station and Owl Cafe in Albuquerque, as well as the Rex in Billings, Montana.

We are located in downtown Truth or Consequences, New Mexico in the heart of the Historic Bathhouse District. Our historic adobe motel building is a 50’s style motor court with classic charm. The guest rooms surround a charming garden sitting area with a fire pit. This is southwestern New Mexico at its finest!

Welcome! The Charles Motel & Hot Springs, open to the public daily for lodging and hot spring soaks, retains many historic characteristics that date back from the time the facility was built – the bathhouse layout is original, as is the funky vintage tile work – giving the Charles all the charm in the world.

The Charles is made up of two historical buildings. The Spa building, constructed in the late 1940s, and The Charles Apartments, built in the early ‘30s, sit side-by-side on Broadway, awaiting the arrival of guests who venture to the southwest for a relaxing getaway, or on a quest for healing, or even who “just had to stop in a town called Truth or Consequences.”

The real joy of the Charles Spa and Motel lies in the mineral-rich water that flows from the ground beneath the facility, arriving in the Charles’ baths at a piping 113.5 degrees fahrenheit. This incredible water has been used in healing for centuries.

The Charles Apartments are available for short and long-term stays, with rooms priced by the day or month. The amenities in the rooms include a sitting area, one or two beds, cable tv, and full bathrooms. Most rooms have a full kitchen; all have a refrigerator and microwave. Morning coffee and tea is available in the Lobby.

Overnight guests are allotted one mineral bath per person per day. Guests who stay for longer periods of time are encouraged to buy a bath card to keep on file for soaking as desired.

The Historic Black Range Lodge

Step into the old west when you enter the Lodge’s spacious lobby. The original brick construction dates back to the 1880s, when the Lodge housed miners and cavalry. Its massive stone walls and log-beamed ceilings were built during the 1930s.

Nestled in the foothills of the Gila National Forest, the Lodge offers easy access to its wild, natural beauty. From our door, a short walk in the clean air takes you along a creek, into the shade of tall Ponderosa pines. A short drive to Emory Pass takes you to a spectacular vista. Bring your mountain bike, and/or binoculars for bird watching.

Centrally located in southwestern New Mexico, Kingston is an easy day trip to Spaceport America, Elephant Butte and Caballo Lakes, the hot springs of Truth or Consequences, White Sands, Las Cruces and old Mesilla.

To the west, a spectacular drive through the Gila Wilderness takes you to the Gila Cliff Dwellings, the City of Rocks, Silver City, historic Pinos Altos, Faywood hot springs, Rockhound State Park, and Deming wineries.

Furnished for comfort, the Lodge invites you to relive Kingston’s wild and wooly past, with modern conveniences. All guest rooms and suites have private baths, thick towels and cozy comforters. We offer free wi-fi and free phone calls across the USA, plus an outdoor hot tub, a pool table, and massage and spa services.

A heart-healthy breakfast is included. Our guest houses are wheelchair friendly, and well-behaved dogs are welcome.

We are delighted to introduce you to our family! Ann, to the far left, is prowling San Lorenzo Canyon near Socorro. Roger is enjoying lunch at a local restaurant. Below on the left are Lisa, our younger daughter, who is a counselor to Deaf in Albuquerque; Ann & Roger; and Maia, our older daughter who lives in Veguita and is a massage therapist whose primary interest is Craniosacral therapy. Joy is our family theme! For those of you who remember Ann’s Mom, she died in June 2014 at 101.5 yrs. of age. Her advice is live to 100 but not beyond!

Roger & Ann had been regularly visiting Riverbend Hot Springs for several years and made the easy decision to move to Truth or Consequences in ’09. Roger re-modeled the front section of our house & we now welcome you to be our guests. Don’t be put off by the outside. That’s our next project, but you’ll really like your room(s) & the shower! Meanwhile, we hope YOU will join us and enjoy the hospitality, amenities, relaxation and comfort available to you at The Birch Street Retreat.

Roger is a massage therapist should you want to avail yourself of his services. You’ll read more about His Hands Healing Massage on a different page. It was Roger who built the slate, petrified wood & river rock shower you’ll see in the photographs on page 4.

Ann is an early interventionist who spent many years as a bilingual elementary teacher & then began early intervention work with the New Mexico School for the Deaf’s PIC program, which had so greatly benefitted us when Lisa was a toddler. Ann still works part time with NMSD PIC & is also Follow Up Coordinator for Newborn Hearing Screening at Albuquerque hospitals. How? By phone!

We hope you’ll come visit so we can learn about you & you can get to know us better. If you’re just coming for the lodging & soaks, that’s okay, too. We keep busy!
